SmallCapStockPlays in the news Eurasian Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: EMX; NYSE Amex: EMXX)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 7, 2012 - Eurasian Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: EMX; NYSE Amex: EMXX) ("EMX") and Bullion Monarch Mining, Inc. (OTCQB: BULM; FRA: BMJ) ("BULM") are pleased to announce that they have entered into a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") with respect to a proposed merger of BULM with a wholly-owned subsidiary of EMX (the "Transaction"). EMX has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of BULM for which BULM shareholders will receive 0.45 of an EMX common share and US$0.11 in cash for each BULM share held. The Transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2012 and the BULM shares will cease trading thereafter.

The combined company will hold more than 145 properties on five continents, as well as a currently paying 1% gross smelter return (GSR) royalty on several of Newmont Mining Corporation's operations and projects on the Carlin Trend in Nevada, including the Leeville mine and the Four Corners project. This royalty paid BULM more than US$20 million in the last six years and more than US$6 million in fiscal 2011 alone.

Following the closing of the Transaction, it is expected that BULM President James (Andy) Morris will join the EMX board of directors and BULM chairman and chief executive officer R. Don Morris will be appointed to the EMX advisory board.

Based on the consideration offered in the Agreement and current outstanding shares, the value of the total Transaction consideration approximates US$45.8 million and represents a 64% acquisition premium, based on 30-day volume-weighted average prices and average exchange rates through February 7, 2012. Although not free from uncertainty, the anticipated structure of the Transaction is expected to allow BULM shareholders to defer the majority of the United States tax effects of the Transaction until they ultimately decide to sell the EMX shares received as consideration.

The Transaction is subject to, among other things approval of the BULM common shareholders at a special meeting to be held to approve the Transaction. The Transaction is also subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory and stock exchange approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Officers, directors and certain significant shareholders of BULM have entered into voting agreements with EMX pursuant to which they agreed to vote the BULM shares beneficially owned by them (collectively representing approximately 44% of BULM's outstanding common shares) in favor of the Transaction, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the voting agreements.

Pursuant to the Agreement, BULM is subject to customary non-solicitation covenants. In the event a superior proposal is made, EMX has the right to match such proposal, and in the event BULM's board of directors changes its recommendation or terminates the Transaction under certain circumstances, BULM has agreed to pay EMX a termination fee of US$4 million. In certain other circumstances where the Transaction is not completed, EMX could be obligated to pay BULM a reverse termination fee of US$1 million.
